We have a rod-shaped space station of length 687m and mass 5.35 x 10^6 kg, which can change its length (kind of like an old-fashioned telescope), without changing its overall mass. Suppose that the station is initially rotating at a constant rate of 2.26 rpm. If the length of the rod is reduced to 2.26m, what will be the new rotation rate of the space station?     4.38 rpm     7.50 rpm     3.50 rpm     6.25 rpm
